Therefore, OS X makes no attempt to scale down a selected photo to fit neatly into the window. Incidentally, the Mac has no idea what sizes and shapes your window may assume in its lifetime.
As you can see in Figure 1-14, bottom, low-contrast or light-background photos work best for legibility. When you click Select, you see that OS X has superimposed the window’s icons on the photo. Now find a graphics file-one of Apple’s in the Desktop Pictures folder, or one of your own, whatever-and drag it into that “well.” If you choose this option, a “Drag image here” square appears. If you choose a dark one-like black-you won’t be able to make out the lettering of the icons’ names. Unless it’s April Fools’ Day, pick a light color. When you click this button, you see a small rectangular button beside the word “Color.” Click it to open the Color Picker, which you can use to choose a new background color for the window ( Figure 1-14, top). By keeping a column view open, on the other hand, you gain quicker navigational access to the stuff on your drive.Ĭolor. By keeping a list view open, you can check the Size column as you move your files into different folders (so you can make sure the folders fit onto a blank CD, for example). For example, you might decide to open the same window twice while doing some hard-drive housekeeping. Using the View menu or the controls in the toolbar, put one of these windows into list view and the other into icon view. Choose File→New Finder Window (⌘-N), and then choose Go→Applications again. Try this, for example: Choose Go→Applications. Once they’re open, you can even switch them into different views. Therefore, if you stop to think about it, there’s nothing to stop you from opening a third, fourth, or fifth copy of the same folder window. If you’ve read this chapter carefully, you may have discovered a peculiar quirk of the OS X Finder: By choosing File→New Finder Window (or ⌘-double-clicking a disk or folder icon), you open a second, completely independent Finder window.
